"Art is not what you see, but what you make others see."- Edgar Degas
Aesthetic and functional art should be,
bridging reason and creativity;
to capture subject and essence freely,
in the true meaning of beauty.
Nest - masterpiece of birds second to none,
beyond rationality and intellect of man.
Giant snail on farms and gardens, beware;
surreptitious tool of biological warfare.
Brain coral's indeed a benevolent host,
shares its home to the lonely and lost.
Pearl, natural or cultured, we won't know,
yet wear it ostentatiously in full view.
Piggy bank, alsacia version in thrifty days,
forgotten and lost by our wasteful ways.
Give a second life to empty shells in art;
a masterpiece, and they'll never depart.
Swallowtail butterflies on the wall,
enshrined to knowledge for all.
Perfect hexagons a million times over,
only the bees can create - man, never.
Calabash akin to gourd, upo we call.
in some dark corner a glowing ball.
Golden calabash in the myth of old,
treasure chest of the rich and bold.
Crown of thorns tipped with rosary beads,
reminds us to renew our faith like seeds
"I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way." — Georgia O'Keeffe ~
